Black Sabbath released Iron Man in 1970 on their second album, Paranoid, and it became one of the band's most enduring songs. Built around a simple but unforgettable guitar riff, it helped define early heavy metal and has since appeared in films, trailers, sports broadcasts and countless online edits. Its title also links it in listeners' minds with the Marvel superhero, which keeps the short opening instantly recognisable to new audiences discovering the track through memes and video edits today.

The opening riff from Black Sabbath's Iron Man, a heavy metal guitar intro used in edits, workouts and superhero montages for instant power and drama.
This clip captures the famous opening riff of Black Sabbath's Iron Man, a slow, heavy distorted guitar figure that lands like a mechanical stomp before the full band crashes in. It sounds dark, powerful and deliberately menacing, with thick low notes and a swaggering rhythm that listeners recognise within a second. In an edit, it instantly signals strength, confidence and unstoppable momentum, turning an ordinary entrance into something larger than life and giving viewers a jolt of anticipation before anything else happens.
